E S J Argus

On a recent trip to Japan I visited the Yokohama War Cemetery and took photos of the headstone of Edgar Samuel John Argus (1916 - 1945). The photo can be seen or downloaded by going to "Photo Gallery - Thomas Argus - Samuel Argus". I have other photos of the cemetery (a very beautiful and peaceful place) if anyone is interested please email the Webmaster for copies. Frank Argus

If you live in Australia or New Zealand and your surname is ARGUS, or you are a descendant of someone whose name is Argus, then you are most likely to have descended from either of the brothers Thomas Argus or John Argus.

Thomas and John Argus and their families migrated to Australia in the 1840's from Cornwall in England and established the family in Australia with Ernest Edward Argus, a grandson of Thomas, moving to New Zealand in 1901 and establishing the New Zealand branch of the family tree.
